Lots of mockingbirds around imitating every car alarm ever invented, a few robins, mourning doves, cardinals, and the usual sparrows, starlings & pigeons. When the eggs hatch those mockingbirds will sing until around 2:30AM and then start again around 5:00AM to teach the little ones all those car alarms

Thank you for sharing.

Seems like a real pain for the ears.

It is annoying when you're trying to get to sleep, mockingbirds are really cool to watch when they spot a cat and strafe it. They weren't even in my area before the West Nile virus decimated the sparrow and pigeon population, that gave them an opening that they flew into and exploited quite successfully.

I have a lot of bird activity were Iam at. Barn swallows are back. Warblers, Vireos are moving in. Some Eastern Phoebes all ready have a nest of young. A Eastern Kingbird has been hanging out in the yard.

Indigo Buntings are numerous. Seen a few Summer Tanagers. Kingfishers are very active.

Our catcher, Yadier Molina, took a 102 mph fastball to the nuggets while catching. I'm pretty sure he was wearing a cup but he had to go into surgery and will be out for a month. He's by far the best player on the Cardinals. He's among the best the Cardinals have ever had, and that's saying a lot.
